Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Budweiser Reuniting for Series of Late Model Races
When Dale Earnhardt Jr. acquired the DEI stylized No. 8 trademark a few months ago, some suspected there would be something cool coming. That something cool came on Tuesday as Dale Jr. revealed the No. 8 Late Model that he will pilot in the upcoming South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway.
Earnhardt will run his iconic red, No. 8 paint scheme with primary sponsorship from Budweiser at Florence on November 22-23.
“It is an incredible opportunity for me to be able to reunite with Budweiser, and the No. 8,” said Earnhardt, Jr. in a release. “Budweiser and I had some great memories with that iconic scheme and number. We’ve always supported each other over the years. It’s going to be really special for me to be able to represent that brand on the racetrack again.”
